CCC#55
Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
- An answering photo
- A cartoon
- A joke
- A caption
- An anecdote
- A short story (flash fiction)
- A poem
- A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
- An essay
- A song—the lyrics or the performance
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
- Your creative offering is indeed yours
- Your writing is kept to 150 words or less
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN.
Found in a clearing in Burlingham Woods.

Festive, yet grim. I’m going to have to ponder this one….

When I took the photo I thought, yea, this will make a fantastic prompt. Yet it took me some pondering to decide what to do with it. Though my decision was helped by knowing what it is.
If it helps any, it’s a modern version of the neolithic/bronze age henges.

Thanks. It’s a might oak, perhaps the reason it’s been chosen as a focus. You can’t see it so well on the photo (as I had to blur as otherwise it was too busy) but that oak is ruddy-leaved, the reddest I’ve seen an English oak.

Wow! Oaks are mighty, aren’t they. And used in poetry and stories about new growth and longevity. Blurry or not it’s beautiful. Thank you for including her in this prompt 🙂

Tall, strong, resilient, the oak has been used in song and poem; the epitome of the Englishman.

I hear what you’re saying. But historically it wasn’t the women who went to war and went to see. And we’re not expected to be built like brick shithouses. As would be implied by an oak. Personally, I prefer willow.

If anything, it’s the beech and the elm trees that are more often associated with women.

I thank you. But I wasn’t putting gender into it. Now you’ve made me think of it.

I said oaks equated with Englishmen, and you said, and women. Now I’m confused. I’m talking historically, in custom and folklore, not in modern feminist issues.
